54كَذٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجناهُم بِحورٍ عينٍMuhammad AsadThus shall it be. And We shall pair them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye.1For the rendering of hur 'in as "companions pure, most beautiful of eye", see scrah 56, notes 8 and 13. It is to be noted that the noun zawj (lit., "a pair" or - according to the context - "one of a pair") applies to either of the two sexes, as does the transitive verb zawaja, "he paired" or "joined", i.e., one person with another.
